SHAPING OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION V2

In this overview, Michael Burger provides a brief historical narrative of Western civilization. The no-frills, uncluttered format and well-written, one-author approach make this book a valuable asset for every history student.
This new edition includes additional coverage of race and slavery in the eighteenth century, twentieth-century imperialism, and twenty-first-century developments such as populism – both right and left. New and improved maps make it easier for students to follow major developments.

Michael Burger is a professor of history at Auburn University at Montgomery.
